A Reuters report has revealed that the United States is limiting its intelligence and military aid to Nigeria during Boko Haram's current deadly insurgency due to concerns over the country's human rights record.
According to U.S. govt officials, the United States shied away from providing Nigeria with real-time information for targeting Boko Haram militants partly in fear that the Nigerians will use the information to target the wrong people.
Human-rights concerns have also hindered the ability of the United States to assist security forces in Nigeria's neighbors, including Cameroon, Chad and Niger, which recently have stepped up their engagement in the conflict against Boko Haram, the officials said, requesting anonymity.
Boko Haram has wrecked havoc in Nigeria's northeast, killing thousands of people in its six-year insurgency and has also pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.
